TOKYO (Reuters) - Japan said on Friday it would conduct a sharply scaled down form of its annual Northwest Pacific whaling campaign this year despite an international court ruling last month against the mainstay of its whaling program in the Antarctic. The decision to proceed with the hunt was certain to provoke international anger and promptly drew the fire of environmentalists. Tokyo's decades-old and disputed "scientific whaling" program suffered a blow last month when the International Court of Justice (ICJ)

BORDEAUX, France (Reuters) - French police took DNA samples from hundreds of male pupils and staff on Monday in the hope the mass test could help them find the assailant who raped a 16-year-old girl in the toilets of a school in western France last September. Two police officers were deployed to take DNA samples from under the tongues of 475 school boys, 31 teachers and 21 staff believed present at the premises of the Catholic secondary level school at the time of the attack. The victim was attacked in the dark and unable to identify her attacker but police managed to retrieve her attacker's DNA imprint - the equivalent of a unique genetic barcode - from her clothing.

A U.S. Navy underwater drone sent to search for a missing Malaysian jetliner on the floor of the Indian Ocean had its first mission cut short after exceeding its 4.5 km (2.8 mile) depth limit, Australian search authorities said on Tuesday. The launch of the Blue-fin 21 autonomous underwater vehicle on Monday marked a new phase in the six week search for Malaysia Airlines MH370 which disappeared on March 8 and is presumed to have crashed thousands of kilometers (miles) off course with the loss of all 239 people on board.

CHAMPAIGN - And the starting quarterback is … "We'll have it for you," Illinois coach Tim Beckman said. The question is when. The answer: no time soon. The three-way battle at quarterback will linger despite the culmination of spring practice Saturday with the annual Orange-Blue game at Memorial Stadium. Senior Reilly O'Toole might not have won the job, but he certainly impressed coaches and fans. The former backup to graduated Nathan Scheelhaase is chasing the starting role along with transfer Wes Lunt and sophomore Aaron Bailey.

The late Philip Seymour Hoffman lives on in the new trailer for " A Man Most Wanted ," one of the actor's final films. Hoffman plays the role of Gunter Bachmann, a German spy tracking terrorist activity in Hamburg. "German intelligence needs a job to be done that German law won't let it do," the actor says in a thick German accent in the trailer. The thriller from Lionsgate and Roadside Attractions, directed by Anton Corbijn and based on John le Carre's 208 novel, also stars Rachel McAdams, Willem Dafoe and Robin Wright.

AUGUSTA, Ga. - By the time Bubba Watson tapped in for a textbook par on the final hole of his opening round at the Masters, he had that familiar feeling. Watson felt both a surge of energy and a sense of ease at Augusta National, a satisfaction in the patience and precision that paved his way to a 3-under-par 69 Thursday. Solid day's work. Three-way tie for second place. One shot off the Day 1 lead set by Bill Haas. Two years ago, Watson left these grounds with a green jacket, triumphing in a playoff over Louis Oosthuizen with a swashbuckling, crowd-pleasing approach.

An Australian ship searching for a missing Malaysia Airlines jetliner has picked up signals consistent with the beacons from aircraft black box recorders, in what search officials said on Monday was the most promising lead yet in the month-long hunt. The U.S. Navy "towed pinger locator" connected to the Australian ship Ocean Shield picked up the signals in an area some 1,680 km (1,040 miles) northwest of Perth, which analysis of sporadic satellite data has determined as the most likely place Boeing 777 went down.

Eddie Perez is a master at throwing his voice. The Braves bullpen coach likes to prank unsuspecting bystanders before road games, spying on their credentials and calling them out by their first names. The victims frantically search the ballpark to find out who's looking for them, only to discover it was the guy in the Braves uniform standing on the dugout steps only a few feet away. The Braves players are all in on the joke and spend much of their pregame stretching time enjoying the show.
